Laurie Porsch

Luis Candelas

You know Nakapan Phungephorn as a high-level jiujitsu black belt and Muay Thai practitioner, as well as the head of BETA Academy in DC. In three weeks, Nakapan returns to the MMA cage for the first time in 15 years. He talks to us about why he made this decision. about the trip to Thailand in 1994 that jumpstarted his Muay Thai career, about how he got the idea of opening a school from Leo Dalla, about martial arts politics, and why he's stopped eating meat. Plus, we talk to BETA Academy students about what makes their school a special place to train! Organizer of Grapplethon Laurie Porsch comes back on the show to talk about the charity grappling event on Nov. 4, her thoughts on competition, positivity in training and women-only martial arts classes. General Manager of BETA Luis Candelas also joins us to talk about how they don't care what kind of clothes you wear to train as long as they can choke you with them. Plus, Jeff goes weekend-by-weekend to cover all the amazing events from now until Nov. 19. Don't miss it! Thanks as always to our sponsors, US Grappling, Toro BJJ, and Cageside MMA!
